Why I became a Jin Shin Jyutsu Therapist

My Jin Shin Jyutsu journey started early on. Since my childhood in Austria a fascination with nature and its workings have always been with me. At a very young age, I started to collect herbs and “heal my house pets”.

​

Chemical engineering school was my background as an adolescent, but the study of art and philosophy set me on a journey of curiosity and discovery. After my arrival in San Francisco, I soon started to explore Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu which finally led me to the never-ending study of Jin Shin Jyutsu in 1995.

​

I have been studying since then which has brought me to Japan (where JSJ originated) and many other countries. I have maintained a Jin Shin Jyutsu practice since 1999 and I teach JSJ self-help once a month at my office in Virginia.

​

In addition, I am also a certified Labor support doula since 2012 and have also worked with hospice care.

"As a Movement Specialist and a person dealing with chronic pain, Susanne and JSJ have been life altering. I have worked with Susanne for over a decade on healing and managing pain when western medicine didn’t help. I believe so much in what Susanne is providing that I regularly send my own clients as well as my family members to meet with her. I am in awe of her talent."
